Claire is very knowledgeable and very interesting to listen to and I wish she was allowed to finish her sentences. Jonathan seems worse than usual this time, interrupting and forcing through his sentences even while she is speaking. A close relative passed away recently after being a dementia sufferer for nearly 10 years (with symptoms actually starting to show a bit earlier) but that was vascular dementia, in most likelyhood caused by oxygen deprivation during a heart surgery.

I'm so sorry you lost your relative, I recently lost a much loved Aunt with vascular dementia too, though it was actually Covid that took her. In her case the dementia came on suddenly after a hip operation, then worsened noticeably after the second hip op. I googled vascular dementia and was startled to find it happens relatively often after general anaesthetics when older, though ops throughout life are cumulative. The more you have, the higher the risk. No-one mentioned this before any of my general anaesthetics, as one of the potential risks. I do think it should be better known.

I agree.there's a balance and he overstepped many times this time. He stopped her exlaining and then we missed out on that. He should let her finish and then clarify .

I wish the host would let the conversation flow a little more and let the guest direct the conversation at times so we can hear what this wonderful guest has going on in her mind.

Glad to see others commenting the same already. Way too much interruption, cutting off, butting in with explanations. I get you need to explain in layman's terms. But really some of the points would be more clear if you let the guest finish her point first...then reflect any comments back. Or clarify with the guest beforehand what terminology to use/avoid perhaps? I never comment on KZread but felt the need to with this one.

Jonathan doesn't need to repeat everything the expert says - we're listening, and if we miss something we can rewind. Worse than usual this episode, presumably because he had a personal interest. So we learned about what pregnant women should do and those in their 40s,but that was pretty much it.

We all process listening and learning differently but for me I like to listen to the uninterrupted flow of an expert who is incredibly knowledgeable. Also Jonathon does tend to use 10 sentences when one would do. He over explains and the interruptions are just not working on overall understanding. Is there an ego problem?

I hope Jonathan reads these messages and lets the guests talk more than he does from now on

Progress of *drugs treatment for dementia:* - 29:31 There's a *_new antibody-based drug_* which removes protein from the brain which could slow down dementia process, with some risks: -> 31:35 *Edema:* swelling in the brain -> 31:45 *Micro-hemorrhage/micro-bleeding* in the brain. - 48:18 *_Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)_* is *not going to be the cure of dementia,* but probably *contributes to the cognitive reserve.* 27:34 *Early symptoms of dementia:* *1) **27:58** **_Short-term memory loss_* --> Alzheimer. *2) **28:03** **_Personality change._* *3) **28:11** **_Falling over._* *4) **28:15** **_Difficulty with the blood pressure regulation._* *5) **28:19** **_Difficulty with sleep regulation._* 13:41 *Dementia vs cardiovascular disease:* - *Similarity:* Both have *_accumulated substances_* in the body, mostly due to chronic poor diet. *- **14:19** Difference:* *-> Cardiovascular disease:* The accumulation is on the *_artery_* and *_blood vessel lining._* *-> Dementia:* The accumulation is on *_neuron cells_* and *_neuron supporting cells (e.g. microglia)._* 16:54 Who does *have greater risk of dementia?* *1)* 17:37 People with *_APOE 4 genes._* 18:23 APOE 4 genes affect *_how the brain cells use fat,_* and are *_influenced by our diet & medications_* that we take. - 18:03 25% of people have 1 APOE 4 gene. - 18:08 2% to 3% of people have 2 APOE 4 genes. 17:50 These people have *_8x greater risk_* of dementia. *2)* 20:33 People with low *_cognitive reserve._* 20:36 *_Cognitive reserve_* = maximum *_cognitive ability (intellectual & psychological)_* that we might have. 19:56 *Cognitive reserve* should be built since *_fetus and early childhood,_* because: 20:56 If we start off with really high functioning --> we build a lot of cognitive reserve --> we might get dementia much later in life. Examples of people *who might have low cognitive reserve:* - 21:50 People *_whose mother was drinking alcohol or smoking_* while pregnant with them. - People who were *_under/malnourished_* in childhood. - People who grew up in *_dysfunctional family_* (suffered from *_abuse or neglect)._* 26:39 There are *strong interactions between brain and other body systems:* *1) **26:50** **_Brain & hearing/sensory ability._* Decrease in hearing or sensory ability --> *reduced stimulants for the brain* --> increased risk of dementia. *2) **41:47** **_Brain & teeth._* 42:02 There's a strong relationship between periodontal disease and cognitive health: *a)* The teeth are located very close to the brain. *Harmful germs in teeth cavities* or gums could easily enter the brain. *b)* 42:26 It's a *viscious cycle:* Dementia makes it difficult to take care of teeth --> Bad teeth makes it difficult to eat --> *less nutrients are absorbed* --> dementia is worsening. *3) **26:45** **_Brain & cardio-acrobatic health._* Healthy cardio is crucial to pump blood to the brain --> ensures *brain gets enough oxygen & nutrients.* *4) **37:28** **_Brain & vascular health._* *Vascular health =* The health of *_the blood vessels_* within your body, including within your heart. *5) **_Brain & digestive system._* 36:22 There's a *brain-gut axis* in the body, which means what happens in the brain affects the gut, and vice versa. *6) **_Brain & immune system._* 27:02 *_Infection & chronic inflammation_* can affect how our brains resilient to those changes which might happen in that balance between proteins being set down or not. *7) **_Brain & metabolic health._* 46:12 Having *diebetes significantly increases* the *risk of* having *dementia* of all types. 46:22 People who *have both dementia & diabetes* should be careful in *managing blood sugar level,* because *low blood sugar is dangerous for dementia.* 24:05, 35:31 How to *build/increase cognitive reserve* to delay/counter dementia, especially _since fetus & early childhood:_ *1) **21:38**, **24:13** **_Dietary nutritions._* *a) **35:50**, **36:29** Eat **_fiber & many different colors of fruits & vegetables._* Purpose: To *feed gut microbiome.* Because of *_the brain-gut axis,_* what happens in the gut affects the brain and vice versa. *b) **35:55** Eat good **_plant-based fat._* Purpose: To support *brain metabolic activities.* *2) **21:22**, **24:14** **_Intellectual stimulation,_* through *education & parental influence.* *3) **21:31**, **24:17** **_Psychological balance & stability_*_ (a.k.a. mental health)._ *4) **24:59** **_Healthy social interaction._* 44:19 One of *the most complicated things we do* in our brains is to really *interact socially.* It is even better than brain games. *5) **25:07** **_Physical activities/fitness._* - 25:45 *_Reduction in sedentary time_* has an effect not just on *dementia,* but also on *brain aging.* - 38:58 *_Going out everyday._* - 38:53, 41:03 *Exercise* at least *_walking_* for *_45 minutes 3x a week._* - 45:17 Physical activities which are really good for cognitive task: *_table tennis, dancing._* - 26:39 Physical fitness also includes *_taking care of other body systems,_* because of the *strong interactions between brain and other body systems.*

Grateful for all the interesting, up to date science info and I am reassured I'm already doing everything I can to lower risk.

Thank you so much, both Claire and Jonathan.

Very informative, thank you.

Claire mentioned infections and inflammation as risk factors. Vitamin D deficiency is an endemic problem; and yet Vit D plays an important role in modifying inflammation and immune system effectiveness. Very simple and cheap risk factor to rectify that always gets overlooked.

Thank you both so much for this fascinating and very helpful exchange. I'm making great strides but will endeavour to do more! x

The pre-diabetes / diabetes connection is clear from this interview (45:00). Reducing carbohydrate / blood glucose levels is essential for overall health. And not forgetting the vital importance of Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA in particular) naturally obtained primarily from fatty marine fish. Professor Michael A Crawford (of Imperial, London) has been “banging-on” about this for more than 50 years!

@@marybusch6182 You’re probably correct re vit D levels. The norm was set decades ago to prevent rickets. These days we know vit D is essential for the immune system enabling it to attack viruses and bacteria etc. The modern norm now is suggested to be 100IUs per 10Kg body weight taken daily. I weigh 90 Ks and take 9,000IUs daily.

It would be interesting to know why urinary infections seem to make dementia much worse. My grandmothers dementia definitely stepped up a level every time she got an infection but I don't know why that happens 🤔

The UTI if not treated travels to the brain. Some UTIs don’t cause any symptoms until you have kidney pain, or your brain gets weird. If you find that you are going to the restroom more often, but little comes out, get to a dr to detect and treat your UTI. UTIs travel to the brain in men also. I get more clumsy going up the stairs or walking around the block on the sidewalk. If that happens, I get it checked out.

Having healthy GUMS as well as teeth ie treating any Periodontitis (gum disease) by maintaining good oral hygiene, smoking cessation, no/ low alcohol consumption, as well as regular visits to your dentist and hygienist is key.

Thank you Jonathan. Can you keep your questions short & to the point.❤

Two way conversation as it should be..keep up the good work Jonathan

Jonathan, listen to your viewers. This is about the worst I have seen you interrupt a guest over and over! Your viewers are fairly sophisticated. I think we are more adept at reading between the lines then you give us credit for.

I'll just add my stone to the edifice: I want to have more guest speaking time with fewer interruptions mid-sentence.

I have to say this interview is soooooo CONVOLUTED !

Great podcast, as usual. Thank you. So helpful.

So wonderful to hear real communication

Presenter needs to educate himself. Professor is v informative and fascinating to listen to, but the language used by presenter “head explode” stops me from forwarding to people it could help.

Thanks for all the great information you’ve put out to the world. Following the recommendations all of you have shared have improved my family’s health a ton. Would it be possible to do a podcast with Tim about diet and gut microbiome for people with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis? Considering Tim was trained as a rheumatologist and a world leading expert for gut microbiome, it would be so helpful to listen to his takes on the subject. Thanks

Very interesting, clear and comprehensive look at a subject that troubles many people, myself included, bringing together all the bits of information I've picked up here and there, and some new details as well. I like the discussion format, too. Thank you. I shall share with everyone I know!

Two examples of slow reaction time in the very elderly (by the way, I'm 76). In Vancouver BC I was walking and witnessed an '"accident." A man was in the process of parallel parking and somehow slammed into the back of the car behind him. He then reversed gears and slammed into the car in front of him. This back and forth slamming continued until someone walked across the road, opened his car door and turned the car off. The guy just couldn't process what was going on and come up with a decent solution - put on the brake, put the car in park, and turn the engine off. He was advanced in age. Another time I was waiting for a bus in an area that was covered by a building, the location was a major bus exchange. A woman came driving into this area, very slowly. The area was restricted to all vehicles except buses. She then proceeded to drive up on the sidewalk while people scattered, very slowly I might add, taking a bit of time bringing the car to a halt. When the police arrived they had her walk to a cop car. Due to her age, quite old, she could barely walk and had to be assisted. She had entered the area with low lighting and that disoriented her, she couldn't process what was going on and the inevitable occured, with no one hurt fortunately.

@@hagbard72 I believe that drivers testing/evaluation should be mandatory based on a doctors recommendation.. The family does not necessarily want to be in that position and the auto insurance could request this information after 65... its hard to know when it is going to hit or how quickly it will progress and even regress... remember Dementia may be reversible... Any doctor worth their salt realizes the response times and whether the mental processing is logical based on a 20 minute interaction during a routine visit... My doctor sends my prescriptions electronically and could do this as well in minimal time to insurance companies and the insurance companies could let the MVA and the patient know that they should be evaluated... I have to report my mileage every year to the insurance company to maintain my premium reduction for decrease mileage... Hate to say it, but this is a bit Orwellian, but it is a safety issue and there are massive numbers of boomers getting well past their prime..

@@hagbard72 There should definitely be yearly tests for elderly drivers, including rigorous cognitive and reaction-time testing. It might be unfair on some (I've known drivers in their eighties who were sharp as tacks in every way), but the more rational will understand the reason. Unfortunately, so many elderly drivers are heavily invested in their "independence" and ignore obvious symptoms that militate against their continuing to drive. My father-in-law in his late seventies had macular degeneration, but somehow his doctor cleared him for driving. Eventually he sideswiped a parked car that he simply hadn't noticed, and he gave up. He was delighted to find that he actually saved money by not driving and didn't eventually feel that he'd lost his independence. As for the elderly in high office, I can think of one appalling person who should never be allowed to run again, but then he's been morally diseased all his life and cognitively deficient for at least a decade. Otherwise, there have been many competent politicians over 70.

@@hagbard72 Patently you have not caught up with the fact that most 70 year olds are still very much compos mentis? The retirement age is now 67 I believe, so are we to assume just a mere 3 years on, we have suddenly become decrepit? When you reach that venerable age, you will realise wisdom takes time to accumulate... Too many of the current politicians seem to have very little common sense, regardless of their number of years or lack thereof. Likewise with the young stockbrokers/bankers who nearly destroyed the entire banking system around 2008 ,selling financial products they did not understand, in comparison to the 60's and 70's when stockbrokers and bankers were all over 50, the system was stable and the country profitable.

I found this very helpful. Thanks!

Thank you both professor Claire and Jonathan, lots of very helpfull info 😊

Superb programme and great information from Zoe.

In common with other commentators: Jonathan, your efforts to simplify and clarify what the experts are saying are very welcome, but you need to work on your timing.

Very interesting! Thank you 🙏 going through the process right now of getting my mom tested. She currently has the issues you’ve mentioned, short term memory loss, inability to manage medications, and household appliances are now a challenge. Very difficult to manage the process here in the States.

Again a facinating pod cast - thankyou :)

My first time listened to this interviewer but found he interrupted too often.

Good stuff for a brief overview. Could be it's own series really, the demand is obviously there 👍

Thank you for this informative broadcast.

Great info by the learned Professor Claire! Please keep it up!

So much wow!! I'd love to hear more about the brain gut axis.... if you were thinking of revisiting this topic.

This is very interesting, and Claire is really positive. I have worked across care support, helping people with learning disabilities but also dementia. I have an interest in diet and food effects on our health. Look at blue zone study, people that live active lives, but live in zones around the world, which provides these people with the right types of food, which reduces the risk of heart disease, dementia and their are many centenarians.

This is a very helpful conversation, loved it.

I must say the summary is quite brilliant!

To be fair, I think Jonathan is conscious of listeners/viewers who may not understand some of the medical or technical terms so he's ensuring that these are understood by asking her to clarify. He also needs to ensure he has everything straight in his own mind for this summary.
